review 1: First off, let me say that Ali Shaw is a brilliantly talented author. He is extremely imaginative and weaves wonderful, fantastic tales. The reason this book did not get five stars is because like some of the other readers, I object to the callous killing of animals. I especially hated Elsa's scene with the butterfly and that really changed my perception of her, lending some dislike to her character. I absolutely loved Finn, however, and was happy with Daniel's transformation at the end.
review 2: It must be difficult to follow the success of an amazing first book such as Ali Shaw's The Girl With The Glass Feet so I do feel for the author but The Man Who Rained crashed and burned. Unlike his last book which was rich with imagery steeped in magic and strong in c... moreharacter his latest book fell flat and dull, it was a challenge just to get through it. The story, although unique, was lifeless and boring... it could have been so much more but it wasn't developed in any way. I am a big fan of mystic realism, it is one of my favourite genres but I did not like this book at all. Perhaps his next book will get back on track. less
